Clockwise GuestRooms

"This house has one of the best views of the fortress from its terrace and a lovely view of the valley from the room's balcony. Great breakfast. Walkable to the bazaar for restaurants and to see sites. Parking was off road and the hostess sent us a great video of how to reach the property. We artived during torrential rain and a cold spell so can attest to the heat working well! WIFI worked well and hot water for showers. Room had a small refrigerator and spring water was available from a tap outside the building. But perhaps best was the hostess, Joana, who was in good communication before and throughout our stay and with whom we had several meaningful conversations. Thank you, Joana, for a wonderful stay at Clockwise."

"We enjoyed our visit 🙂"

"Wonderful view from room balcony and terrace. Close proximity to castle and bazaar (about 15 minutes walk with some short and steep inclines). Joanna, proprietor, was very nice and attentive. Hosts were very responsive to requests and sought to ensure a pleasant and comfortable stay. We enjoyed the delicious breakfast in the dining area/salon with beautiful views of the castle. The AC/heater worked well and we were nice and toasty overnight. Room had mini fridge and small TV screen. Beds were comfortable. Room has cozy chalet ambiance."

"The room was rather compact and felt insufficient for 4 adults. It’s better suited for 2 adults or family with 1-2 small children. The shower curtain was too short and didn’t reach the floor so water would splash everywhere. The location was a bit difficult to locate (I received Joanna’s detailed instruction video after the fact) and navigate but very doable for capable drivers. But, part of the adventure and discovery of Gjirokaster."

"Breakfast was substantial and delicious. I appreciated the local dishes included with standard offerings. We never felt rushed and could relax over coffee."

"Frosted glass rather than clear on the back window darkened the room somewhat and hindered a clear view. Only a small inconvenience. Otherwise, a wonderful place to stay!"

"We loved the view of the castle from the property. Eating breakfast on the terrace with a beautiful view of the surrounding valley is wonderful. The owners were very helpful in so many ways. Each morning we had a slightly different breakfast with a lot of traditional Albanian food which was nice."

"The only thing people should be aware is that the property is a 15 minute walk to the town center. But you are located closer to the walk to Ali Pasha Bridge."

"-very lovely room with all you need for a pleasant stay, big and comfy beds and a balcony with amazing view -the position of the accommodation was perfect for us, just a 10 min walk to the historic center , so it was nice and quiet and had enough space in the front of the building to park -our host Joana was very nice and helped with informations and tips about the city and always attentive to our needs , making sure we have a good time - the breakfast was delicious and variated served on the beautiful terrace - Joana was just so nice and helped us with the best indications to get to the location ( it has a main road but after that you have to get through the little old streets of the town - is doable with a little bit of attention so don't be afraid) ; the Gjirokaster is part of the UNESCO heritage with old stone paved roads that are uphill through the montain so don't expect your common asphalt streets through it :)"

"I was contacted before I arrived with details on how best to find the guesthouse on arrival. I was arriving early but was available for me to self check in then go out to explore. Was given easy directions to find the castle which didn't take long. Amazing communication. I got a taxi up from the bus station which wasn't very expensive . It was very hot so was glad if the taxi. 45 minutes to walk up the hill from bus station.Beautiful views from the communal sitting area, private balcony was great for having a coffee on. Breakfast was at the time I requested and had plenty to eat. I was going back to Tirana and the host kindly packed up some of my breakfast for my journey."
